Ordered the Island avocado, portobello mushroom, cruising salad. I requested to add chicken & they left off the portobello mushrooms. My companion got the same salad without the chicken & her salad had the portobello mushrooms. Not sure if they forgot the portobello mushrooms or they replaced it with the chicken.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my dairy allergy & left the mozzarella off my salad.Wheelchair accessibility: 1st floor and wide aisles inside which makes it wheelchair friendly.

Never in my life have I witnessed such speedy service! I barely had time to grab napkins and utensils before my name was called. Phenomenal 🤘🏼The food was quite solid, and I highly recommend their spicy sauce for the chicken katsu.

I placed an online order. I received an email receipt stating I ordered in Thatcher. I also received a text saying thank you for ordering. The restaurant says they didn’t get my order. Now I’m out the money(cleared my bank) and have zero food. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. I figured after the first time they would fix whatever bugs they have, but they didn’t. DO NOT order online!

If you close your eyes and take a bite of the Bulgolgi Beef or Kalua Pork, it almost feels and tastes like you are eating on the islands. The plates come with white rice and mac salad. The little diner has an island vibe with Hawaiian music playing in the background. Also, the workers are quite friendly. In the middle of Graham County, the island spirit lives. Mahalo for the ono grindz!

The server'S couldn't get the orders to Any of the rite people.The rice was like swallowing a very bland sticky mess.The chicken was the only thing that had a great flavor but it was over cooked and dry.Oh, the fries with the buffalo sauce were pretty good.

I never leave reviews, and I hate to tarnish a small business, but the taste has so drastically changed since I've last visited Graham County, I have to say something. I come back and visit about once a year, but this place has to be under a new management or something. I used to be absolutely obsessed with the rodeo wrap and kinoa wrap, but absolutely nothing tastes like it used to. Idk what it is, but I couldn't finish either wrap. I had to throw them away. They were both extra salty with some kind of different sauce ingredient. Idk what it is, but it's not the same as I remember it being. I've spent hundreds of dollars for lunch and dinner here when I used to live here, but I honestly don't know if I'll get food here again in the future. Someone changed something. First time being back in town for a while, and this isn't the Kinoa's I used to be obsessed with.

It's a little expensive. Just two people is easily $30. But the salads are the best in town, and they literally have the best fish and chips I've ever had. I think most of the dressings and sauces are homemade, they're delicious.Vegetarian options: My favorite vegetarian option is the island avocado salad

Food was "Meh." Cute laid back spot in a small town. Been meaning to try this little island vibe restaurant everytime I pass through. Love the concept, especially since it's a VERY small town with not a lot of options. Got the Kailua Green Salad, pulled pork on top of greens with cranberry, mozzarella, peanuts, and orange dressing with a big spoon of rice on the side. Loaded with hefty portion of fresh spring mix greens but a much smaller ratio of meat. Found myself just filling up with mouthful of lettuce and rice. Interesting menu but taste of the pork was more smoky bbq like southern style, not so much Hawaiian flavor. It was just okay. Not a place I'd hurry to go back foodwise, but a cute spot.

Food is hit and miss , sometimes is pretty good , sometimes not, inconsistent in their prep or just don't care one of the two. The young people they have running the counter are not very friendly rarely see a smile from anyone in there. the Atmosphere is loud no sound absorbing materials so very loud when people are talking. Parking is hit and miss not much area for guests to park. Try at your own risk some days are good some aren't, and be willing to pay cause they aren't cheap, bit pricey I think.

Ordered the island avocado, portobello mushroom salad & added chicken. Not sure if they forgot the portobello mushrooms or left it out cause I asked to add chicken.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my dairy allergy by leaving the cheese of my salad.

This is always a solid lunch spot. Stopped by around 12pm on March 26, 2018 just before the lunch rush. The combo 1 with two meat, Mac salad and rice is my go-to choice. The Spam is excellent as well as the bongolia beef. If you want to add a side the kainoa fries are a fun addition to share.

Stopped for lunch while passing through town. Really generous wraps and delicious cold smoothies, especially welcome on a hot day. The service was quick and friendly. As the lunch rush dissipated, the crew set about cleaning the dining room, and it was spotless! This place does a huge takeout business but it didn't slow things down. Nice atmosphere and vibe.

Had lunch here today. The food was really good. The gals at the counter were super nice and the cook even delivered our food to our table. That impressed me. Great food & great service. We are new to the area and this place came highly recommended. The house sauce is to die for! Had to buy 2 bottles to take home. Will definitely come back.

Be warned their drive thru is not for ordering. You cannot place an order at the window. So after waiting in that line I had to then go inside to order my salad, I also tried to order online, it didn’t work for me. The wait is always long. But the food is good and different fare than the typical Mexican restaurant here in Thatcher. Will come again but wanted to keep others from making the same very untimely mistake.
